How to Paint Bathroom Tiles

Painting bathroom tiles is an affordable way to refresh their look. Follow these steps for a successful project:

Materials You Need:

• Tile-specific primer
• Epoxy or tile paint
• Paint rollers or brushes
• Fine-grit sandpaper
• Masking tape

Steps to Paint Bathroom Tiles:

1. Clean the Tiles:
   • Wash tiles with warm water and a mild detergent.
   • Remove all dirt, grease, and mildew.
2. Sand the Surface:
   • Use fine-grit sandpaper to roughen the tiles.
   • This step helps the primer and paint adhere better.
3. Apply Masking Tape:
   • Protect edges, fixtures, and grout lines with masking tape.
4. Prime the Tiles:
   • Apply a tile-specific primer evenly.
   • Let the primer dry completely before painting.
5. Paint the Tiles:
   • Use epoxy or tile paint for durability.
   • Apply thin, even coats with a roller or brush.
   • Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
6. Seal the Paint:
   • Use a clear waterproof sealant to protect the paint from moisture.

Avoid painting high-water areas like shower walls for better longevity.
